It is convenient to take Nos. 23 and 24 Stuart, together with 25 and 26 the Georgian.
No. 23, the annexed seal of Robert Greysbrooke of Middleton, is appended to his will, dated 1st September, 1668, and printed Miscell. Genealogica et Heraldica for 1878.
It appears very constantly in seals from about 1610 to 1694.
The shape is used in Sir Peter Leycester's Historical Antiquities of Cheshire, published in 1673.
Again in Sylvanus Morgan's Sphere of Gentry, published 1661.
No. 24 appears in stone carving at Penshurst Place, Kent, showing the arms of Edward VI., 1547. The side points are curled round, and the centre one is capped with a fillet and half globe: an improvement by the stone cutter (Willement's Regal Heraldry), see No. 77.
It is found in the seals and in the crown-pieces of the Commonwealth, dated 1650.
Taking then the Georgian No. 25—In Willement's Regal Heraldry, the arms of Henrietta Maria, the wife of Chas. I., 1625, are reproduced in this shape.
